Windows On Woodstock

Windows On Woodstock is my textile art studio in Santa Ynez, CA. It is a converted barn which sits high on a hill overlooking Woodstock Road and the Santa Ynez Valley. Within the 1500+ square feet I create art pieces from my hand dyed fabrics which I screen print, paint, stencil, otherwise embellish and stitch. My work ranges from representational to conceptual to abstract. Several series are incorporated into my body of work.

The Artists Guild of Santa Ynez Valley juried me in as the September Artist of the Month. My feature exhibit, The Vineyard Series, is being shown at Gallery Los Olivos through October 1. This is a photo taken at my opening reception on September 6. The piece on the lower right, Dreaming of Vineyards, was sold during the reception. My thanks to everyone who came. It was so special having you all here!

Artist Statement

For as long as I can remember I have had the urge to create art. When I discovered the art of altering fabric through surface design I attacked the creation of artworks from cloth with a vengeance. I feed my hunger for artistic impact through memberships in Studio Art Quilt Associates, Surface Design Association and the Artists Guild of the Santa Ynez Valley. As a member of Fibervision in Santa Barbara and Quilts on the Wall in Seal Beach, both fiber artists' collaboratives, I and fellow artists exhibit unique works internationally. I am blessed to have a studio which is quite unique, having risen from the neglected remains of an old goat barn. The newly rebuilt creative space has been featured in STUDIOS Magazine. It is a sanctuary where I can escape and let my imagination take me beyond physical boundaries. I express my ideas in both representational and abstract textile art. I strive for a continually evolving body of work--one that is my own unique vision and voice.
